I done that too. It looks great at first tho but then you find out that most of the good stuff has been removed and it all went downhill for me.
I tried to get IRC working (e.g Xchat) but with no luck. Then I tried to get my graphics card working but it says it's not connected and it uses the default GeForce driver (which is slow). Updating it made no difference.
In fact, I'd say it's Red Hat that have been removing lots of stuff from their distros.
I was not impressed and reverted back to 8.1....but will probably go over to RedHats latest version for better support.
I have to say that doesn't sound like Mandrake 9.0 to me. I'm not sure what "good stuff" has been removed, or why your xchat and drivers don't work properly, but they work fine here, and I'd say it's a considerable improvement over the 8.x versions. Certainly it is easier to manage than the older versions.
